[Intel-gfx] [RFC PATCH 0/2] Attempt to avoid dma-fence-[chain|array] lockdep splats

[Thomas Hellström]

Introducing more usage of dma-fence-chain and dma-fence-array in the
i915 driver we start to hit lockdep splats due to the recursive fence
locking in the dma-fence-chain and dma-fence-array containers.
This is a humble suggestion to try to establish a dma-fence locking order
(patch 1) and to avoid excessive recursive locking in these containers
(patch 2)

Thomas Hellström (2):
  dma-fence: Avoid establishing a locking order between fence classes
  dma-fence: Avoid excessive recursive fence locking from
    enable_signaling() callbacks
